The sound she is able to do at 1:45 is out of this world. It is softer and lighted than a cloud but at the same time in stark contrast with the background "spinning wheel" sound which is even lighter, as if pure air. She is somehow able to masterfully colour the most evanescent waft of air and turn into the most intimate Music. Bravo Yuja!

For those who want to SING in this KARAOKE- VERSION by Yuja Wang - Gretchen am Spinnrade Meine Ruh’ ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich finde sie nimmer Und nimmermehr. Wo ich ihn nicht hab’ Ist mir das Grab, Die ganze Welt Ist mir vergällt. Mein armer Kopf Ist mir verrückt Mein armer Sinn Ist mir zerstückt. Meine Ruh’ ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich finde sie nimmer Und nimmermehr. Nach ihm nur schau’ ich Zum Fenster hinaus, Nach ihm nur geh’ ich Aus dem Haus. Sein hoher Gang, Sein’ edle Gestalt, Seines Mundes Lächeln, Seiner Augen Gewalt. Und seiner Rede Zauberfluss. Sein Händedruck, Und ach, sein Kuss! Meine Ruh’ ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer, Ich finde sie nimmer Und nimmermehr. Mein Busen drängt sich Nach ihm hin. Ach dürft’ ich fassen Und halten ihn. Und küssen ihn So wie ich wollt’ An seinen Küssen Vergehen sollt’! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thank you. And for those who want to know the meaning: My rest is gone My heart weighs heavy, I can never find her And nevermore. Where I don't have him is my grave The whole world I hate it. my poor head I'm crazy my poor mind Is broken to me. My rest is gone My heart weighs heavy, I can never find her And nevermore. I only look after him out the window, I'll go after him Out of the house. his high gear His noble form the smile of his mouth, power of his eyes. And his speech magic river. his handshake, And oh, his kiss! My rest is gone My heart weighs heavy, I can never find her And nevermore. My bosom pushes after him. Oh, I can take it And hold him. And kiss him as I wanted At his kisses should go away! (google translate)

What an incredible performance, really powerful. Amazing that when Schubert finds Faust, he is drawn to Gretchen and tells the story from the depths of her soul. The older I get, the more Schubert opens up to me (although he was so young). My only comment on this recording is purely personal. At the end, I wish that Yuja would add even more frenzy to the music, almost like hysteria. I feel she has more inside than she is showing. At that point, Gretchen is spiraling out of control with her emotions and is on a path leading to her child’s and her destruction. While Yuja clearly moves in this direction, I feel she could take it to an additional level and still stay true to Schubert/Liszt. I am not a pianist so not exactly sure how this is possible. This is a relatively small nuance to a fantastic performance.

I don't know what the commenters complaining about the tempo are talking about. It is six eight time with a dotted quarter note set to 72 beats a minute, according to the score. Ignoring accelerandos and rallentandos, she seems to be spot on. I used a stopwatch and counted the beats, but there are metronome videos here on youtube. There is one for 72 Bpm. What are your findings?
@VeronicaBellSoprano
5 жыл бұрын
actuall, there is no tempo specified for this piece by Schubert himself. 72 tempo which i have seen before is most likely put there by a publisher. The original score simply says Nicht zu geschwind - not too fast which could be interpreted in a million of different ways. those who complain about the tempo just don't know this hehehe.

I agree with a comment elsewhere that Yuja Wang excites debate precisely because she is rather talented and so ruddy exciting to watch! Keep your unofficial helpline open on all Yuja's performances.

This is stunningly beautiful playing, perhaps the most expressive I have ever heard! Yuja is one of the top pianist in the world today--very well number one. SOMETIMES her dress is inappropriate. The dress here is much better than some. If Yuja happens to read this: Yuja, you are a world class concert pianist--not a harlot-- dress like a concert pianist. Rosina Lhevinne--perhaps the greatest piano teacher who ever lived--of the Julliard School addressed this issue on many occasions. For those who are ready to "beat me up" for saying this--save your finger power for something that matters.

c0string This is Franz Liszt speciality: the *virtuosity*. Playing fast was a step of music's evolution, initiated by Liszt, and then Prokofiev. Liszt re-wrote Schubert's lieds (which were inspirated of Goethe's poems) in a "scientific" way (not only this one. For exemple: Erlkönig). He included the lyrics in the music, which makes it more incredibly hard to play, and unbelievable to see. PS: I hope all I just said is right. If not, let me know in answer! ;p

Very slow and "passionate" sometimes just disguises the mind thats not willing or able to follow the needs that the composition asks. Yuja could do this half tempo but I wonder if the slower performers could keep pace with this kind of performance. Taste is personal but "too slow" or "too fast" doesn't express the measures quality is defined at.
